Fans Suspect Ryan Reynolds Threw Subtle Shade at Justin Baldoni in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

Buy Me A Coffee

Ryan Reynolds might have just entered the Petty Olympics— and fans are loving every second of it.

In Deadpool & Wolverine, which, let’s face it, is the chaotic buddy movie we all need, fans are side-eyeing a certain scene and whispering: “Was that… a dig at Justin Baldoni?”

Now, for those who’ve been living under a rock (or just wisely avoiding celebrity drama), Justin Baldoni, aka Mr. “I’ve Had a Man Bun Longer Than Most Trends Last,” has been wrapped up in some legal drama with Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds’ wife. Blake, queen of the perfectly snarky Instagram comment, co-starred in It Ends With Us with Justin, and let’s just say, things didn’t end well with them.

Back to the cinematic tea. In Deadpool & Wolverine, Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine (because yes, Hugh can’t resist Ryan’s shenanigans either) bump into a Deadpool “variant” called Nicepool. And guess what? Nicepool is rocking… wait for it… a man bun. Yes, a MAN BUN. Coincidence? The internet says: “Absolutely not!”

Nicepool, played by Ryan (because why hire more actors when you can just be extra?), gushes about Ladypool—aka Blake in this superhero multiverse—and says, “Oh my goodness, wait ’til you’ve seen Ladypool. She is gorgeous. She just had a baby too, and [you] can’t even tell.”

Cue Deadpool side-eyeing Nicepool like, “Bro, did you really just say that?” To which Nicepool dramatically clutches his chest and replies, “That’s OK. I identify as a feminist.” Because of course he does.

Now here’s where it gets juicy. Blake, who welcomed a baby boy right before filming It Ends With Us, has alleged that Justin Baldoni had the audacity to criticize her body behind the scenes. Yep, the same guy who probably posts inspirational quotes on Instagram while sipping green juice.

Fans are connecting the dots faster than your Wi-Fi on a good day: Ryan co-wrote and co-produced Deadpool & Wolverine while Blake was dealing with this It Ends With Us drama. A Deadpool variant with a suspiciously familiar hairstyle? Awkward comments about a woman’s post-baby body? A “feminist” declaration that feels about as genuine as a canned apology video?

The internet detectives are saying this has Justin Baldoni’s name written all over it. And honestly, Ryan might have just delivered the shadiest cinematic roast of all time.

Somebody hand Nicepool a pair of scissors for that man bun—he’s going to need them.
